1 Tendo Jesus acabado todos estes ensinamentos, disse a seus discípulos: 2 Sabeis que, daqui a dois dias, celebrar-se-á a Páscoa; e o Filho do Homem será entregue para ser crucificado.

3 Então, os principais sacerdotes e os anciãos do povo se reuniram no palácio do sumo sacerdote, chamado Caifás; 4 e deliberaram prender Jesus, à traição, e matá-lo. 5 Mas diziam: Não durante a festa, para que não haja tumulto entre o povo.

6 Ora, estando Jesus em Betânia, em casa de Simão, o leproso, 7 aproximou-se dele uma mulher, trazendo um vaso de alabastro cheio de precioso bálsamo, que lhe derramou sobre a cabeça, estando ele à mesa. 8 Vendo isto, indignaram-se os discípulos e disseram: Para que este desperdício? 9 Pois este perfume podia ser vendido por muito dinheiro e dar-se aos pobres. 10 Mas Jesus, sabendo disto, disse-lhes: Por que molestais esta mulher? Ela praticou boa ação para comigo. 11 Porque os pobres, sempre os tendes convosco, mas a mim nem sempre me tendes; 12 pois, derramando este perfume sobre o meu corpo, ela o fez para o meu sepultamento. 13 Em verdade vos digo: Onde for pregado em todo o mundo este evangelho, será também contado o que ela fez, para memória sua.

14 Então, um dos doze, chamado Judas Iscariotes, indo ter com os principais sacerdotes, propôs: 15 Que me quereis dar, e eu vo-lo entregarei? E pagaram-lhe trinta moedas de prata. 16 E, desse momento em diante, buscava ele uma boa ocasião para o entregar.

17 No primeiro dia da Festa dos Pães Asmos, vieram os discípulos a Jesus e lhe perguntaram: Onde queres que te façamos os preparativos para comeres a Páscoa? 18 E ele lhes respondeu: Ide à cidade ter com certo homem e dizei-lhe: O Mestre manda dizer: O meu tempo está próximo; em tua casa celebrarei a Páscoa com os meus discípulos. 19 E eles fizeram como Jesus lhes ordenara e prepararam a Páscoa.

20 Chegada a tarde, pôs-se ele à mesa com os doze discípulos. 21 E, enquanto comiam, declarou Jesus: Em verdade vos digo que um dentre vós me trairá. 22 E eles, muitíssimo contristados, começaram um por um a perguntar-lhe: Porventura, sou eu, Senhor? 23 E ele respondeu: O que mete comigo a mão no prato, esse me trairá. 24 O Filho do Homem vai, como está escrito a seu respeito, mas ai daquele por intermédio de quem o Filho do Homem está sendo traído! Melhor lhe fora não haver nascido! 25 Então, Judas, que o traía, perguntou: Acaso, sou eu, Mestre? Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Tu o disseste.

26 Enquanto comiam, tomou Jesus um pão, e, abençoando-o, o partiu, e o deu aos discípulos, dizendo: Tomai, comei; isto é o meu corpo. 27 A seguir, tomou um cálice e, tendo dado graças, o deu aos discípulos, dizendo: Bebei dele todos; 28 porque isto é o meu sangue, o sangue da [nova] aliança, derramado em favor de muitos, para remissão de pecados.

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples, 2 Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified. 3 Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas; 4 and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him. 5 But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people.

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 10 But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 12 For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15 and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him unto them.

17 Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover? 18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. 19 And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

20 Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples; 21 and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord? 23 And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 24 The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born. 25 And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.

26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.

1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,

2 "As you know, the Passover is two days away —and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."

3 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

4 and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.

5 "But not during the festival," they said, "or there may be a riot among the people."

6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,

7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.

8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked.

9 "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."

10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

11 The poor you will always have with you, "but you will not always have me.

12 When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.

13 Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."

14 Then one of the Twelve —the one called Judas Iscariot —went to the chief priests

15 and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver.

16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.

17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"

18 He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'"

19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.

20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve.

21 And while they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me."

22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, "Surely you don't mean me, Lord?"

23 Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.

24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."

25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely you don't mean me, Rabbi?" Jesus answered, "You have said so."

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."

27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.

28 This is my blood of the "covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
